Abstract : In recent years, there have been more and more recreational scuba diving in Taiwan. Many famous diving sites, such as Kenting, Lambay Island, and Northeast Coast, have developed vigorously, which has caused high competition in the local diving industry, therefore lead to scuba diving industry vicious competition. In addition, water safety education is generally lacking, tourists themselves lack of safety awareness, coupled with the lack of restrictions and weaknesses on Taiwan's diving regulations, and some unscrupulous people ignore the regulations, resulting in frequent water accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the operational risks of Taiwandiving operators and assist the public sector in formulating effective policies. Through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), this study analyzes the safe environment, tourists’ cognition, operator attitude, government administration over and above of criteria. It is most important to find the level of “tourists’ cognition”, which means the operator can only protect the safety of tourists through the equipment and environment, tourists can only assess their own situation from the safety assessment of their own. From the minimum weight from the “government management”, it is known that public institutions can only provide assistance through the policy formulation, or providing safety education training. This study sorts the results of the dimension index to identify important dimension indexthat affect the risk of diving operator, and givingsuggestion to the diving operators and government. Hoping this study can be helpful for the operation and management of the diving operators in the future. Keywords - Recreational Scuba Diving, Diving Industry, Operational Risks, AHP.
